@@RalphMayhewPhotography I’ve been using the gopro inside a wind slayer, on top of my outboard running in the 70’s mph with it. The windslayer truly is a great product.
@@sergio_veiga to get truly windless audio, turn wind reduction on. For just walking around in windy conditions, not in a motorsports environment, leave wind reduction off.
Thanks, this was a very useful comparison. I've found the Windslayers are good, but inevitably taking them on and off (which you'll have to do to get the SD card or the battery out of the GoPro) causes little tears in the corners, and once one of those tears gets to about 0.5cm, the wind gets in and it's effectively useless. For me this happens after about 6 months of using it, and I typically film with the GoPro 2 or 3 times a week. I assume this is part of the reason you get two, and for me paying £12 for about a year of wind noise reduction is well worth the money. It's just a bit frustrating each time I get to the end of that 6 month cycle and forget that even though it still looks roughly intact, it's not really working any more, and I often end up with at least one day of filming with bad wind noise.
Glad to hear they serve you well mate. I get what you mean with the tares. It feels as though they need a more durable lip to move over the camera 🤷🏼♂️
@@RalphMayhewPhotography Yea, in fairness I really don't have any better ideas! It would be interesting to hear how long these last for other people, maybe I'm doing something wrong? I should add that I tend to stuff the GoPro in a pocket between filming and maybe that is also contributing to the foam tearing? Still, as I said, even if it does only last for 6 months (or 12 months for the pair) it's definitely worth the money.
That's impressive! I'll have to order a set and see if it will fit with the gimbal. It seemed like having it on with wind reduction on helped with the "tin can" sound the wind reduction usually gives the audio. Did you mess with anything in post or was that all raw audio?
@@RalphMayhewPhotography That's crazy! My Hero 10 pixks up wind noise if i turn a fan on in my house so this may be what I need. I already ordered a set. I'm really tired of having to choose between decent audio quality and noise reduction. Thanks for braving the weather to bring us this awesome content and for responding to comments!
@@RalphMayhewPhotography picked up a two pack on Amazon for only $10. Reasonably priced & works that’s a no brainer lol. Thank you & I gave you a sub! 😊
Man I’ve just been blasting my mouth at this GoPro the last year with no external mic no lav, nothing. Idk nobody has said anything.🤷🏽♂️ maybe it’s time to ride the lightning with the slayer 🤘🤦🏽♂️
That is amazing how good that did!!!!
Shocking how good it still did even without the windslayer as well
Insane right!! I couldn’t believe how it went in truly awful conditions.

@@dbsranchr that’s incredible. So good to hear.
@@dbsranchrshould use with the windslayer and the GP wind reduction both on? Or just the windslayer and GP wind reduction off?

This is the test that i need, thank you buddy!
So good!!
Fantastic review mate, I was wondering about this product and you've proven to me that it's definitely worth it. Thank you!
Awesome to hear mate. Glad I could help.
What’s your best way to deal with GoPro audio wind noise??
Great video mate
Thanks heaps mate.

Thx Ralph for your crystal clear video, I immediately ordered one at HSU, using your discount code. Thank you very much.😁
I’m stoked to help and thanks so much for your support.
So helpful, and you sold me on the windslayer! 🙏 Thanks!
Great kit Legend! My boss was just asking about that for the GoPro that he uses on his sailboat. I will send him the link. Thanks!
It’s such a great and simple product.
The right test to do, was hoping to find OFF/OFF, OFF/ON, ON/OFF and ON/ON. Do you have this on GOPRO 12?
Thanks. You’d have to check with hsu. I’ve not got a GP12 but it would work the same I’m sure if it fits.
hi boss thanks for your video, i have a question kindly answer please, whats the setting of the raw audio in this video? medium or high? thankyou
I have no idea sorry. That was a couple of years ago. I’d suggest playing with both options to see which one works best for you.
@@RalphMayhewPhotography ah okey thankyou mate

They’re really good. No didn’t change anything at all with audio. Not even volume 👍

@@grizzlyworksrc my pleasure champ!! How disheartening is it to get to editing only to discover wind noise has ruined your whole project GAHHHH
Great demo and funny as heck!! Just bought 2. Got a discount and free shipping for USA delivery!!
Haha thanks heaps Tim and thanks for the support too. They’re an awesome product.
Very helpful thank you!
Stoked to help.
It actually did a decent job on its own!
Yep not half bad 👌
You’re a funny bloke mate, keep it up 👍
Haha for sure 👍
That’s a decent product! Easily 25%+ better for overall sound quality with the wind. 😊
For sure.

Yeah we use ours all the time if we don’t use a small shotgun mic! It’s great!
Totally agree.

These ones are super durable,work great and will last for years
Great news!!! :D
"filth biscuit" 🤣
Hehehe
Ah hahaha… Ralph you crack me up!!! Weather is a total filth biscuit!! 😂
Hehehehe thanks Adam.
@@RalphMayhewPhotography best weather to test the wind slayer in though 😁👍
@@AdamBoltGoldCoast too true.
